Sailing to the Island of the Sail

Location: Similan Islands

Concluding our night passage from Phuket to the Similan Island we finally arrived at the Island of the Sail in the early morning. The island got its name from a very large rock looking like a sail (though some see Donald Duck instead). We spend the day diving, snorkeling, and exploring the Island, especially the amazing rock formation and perfectly white beaches. After days of anchor watch every night and the overnight passage we tried to start some early sleep – some very early, some after a last night dive – to be well prepared for the next busy day.
